A common cliche is that the world is a battle between love and hate. It's true, but not quite the right point. The world is a battle between clarity and delusion. Where there's clarity, love is obvious and hate makes no sense.

To prove a point: Please RT if you don't have a CS degree and you have a job in tech.
👏 You don't need a formal degree to succeed in tech. 👏 You don't need a CS degree to be a great product manager. 👏 Degrees are not magic! Hard work, intellectual curiosity, and good teamwork win every time. Sincerely, someone with a fancy degree. 💫

Apparently kids are taught this acronym in school now: T.H.I.N.K. before you speak. T - is it True? H - is it Helpful? I - is it Inspiring? N - is it Necessary? K - is it Kind? I feel like I need this to pop up every time I go to post online.

A QA engineer walks into a bar. Orders a beer. Orders 0 beers. Orders 99999999999 beers. Orders a lizard. Orders -1 beers. Orders a ueicbksjdhd. First real customer walks in and asks where the bathroom is. The bar bursts into flames, killing everyone.
